working person

"If I had all the money in the world, I would not be here, okay? So, I'm a working person, you know?"

So what have Labour ministers defined as a working person?

Asked if she, as a minister earning up to £160,000, counted as a working person, she replied: "My income derives from my job and I’ll pay whatever taxes are required of me."

The Conservatives have accused Labour of "reinventing" what counts as a working person, as the Budget approaches.

These guidelines have shifted over the past 10 years — and it can be difficult for the busy working person to keep up with changes.
